One of the pieces of jewellery that I enjoy the most not only making but also wearing are bangles. Ever since I started making jewellery I created a modern and contemporary bangle collection. This inspiration was thanks to my mom who is a very stylish elegant woman. I remember one of the pieces she loved the most was a set of 18kt gold bangles she used to wear everyday for work which is call: “semanario” meaning seven days. Seven bangles for each day of the week. Doing some research were the Gypsy women who carried a “semanario” as a symbol of wealth and prosperity.

For whatever reason it is. I LOVE bangles and I don’t necessarily wear 7. Here are some of my bangles collections and they all have a story. Like the square bangles that represent strong personality and determination.

One of the things I enjoy the most is when people are open to changes and transformation. I find excitement and a deep joy when I melt the metal to make a new creation.

Jo’s engagement/wedding ring

This is Jo’s story whom I made a gorgeous bridal set. From the earrings, bangles and the wedding/engagement ring. The best part of it was transforming and forging her mother’s engagement ring into her wedding/engagement own one and also having her dad’s wedding ring for the earrings and the bangles.

All this elements make even more significant her jewellery and a beautiful story to share with her loved one.

I wanted to introduce this fabulous bangles always in my geometrical theme. I love square bangles and so I wanted to create new and fun ones. This ones are made with a different technique from the set of 5 square bracelets as they are model in wax where I apply the cattle fish bone texture then casted in silver. They are a great combination for the matching square ring.

The cattle fish texture gives it a unique earthy and raw feeling!

Here I leave some great photos from the amazing city of Florence and lovely Pontevecchio….
